[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 246864, member: 1550"] I would be thinking possibly Asperger's Syndrome, which is very hard to get a diagnosis. for at his age, even if he has it. The other may be touched by Aspergers too, especially 12 year old. Many Aspies NEVER act out, but are just quirky and strange and have trouble with social issues and "getting it." Many are extremely precocious yet unable to interact with their same-age peers. They tend to have very focused, but narrow interests--such as loving baseball so much that they memorize every statistic. A great rote memory is a trait. They are less good at abstract thinking because their brains are very literal--black and white. Some absolutely can not transition well, especially when young, and that can cause raging. Sensory issues can also be a problem--loud noise, light, certain textures, etc., but all Aspies are different. I'd get a total evaluation--I prefer NeuroPsychs over all other professionals. They tend to test very thoroughly and get the closest to the problem. After all, WE are only moms. Anyway, that's my advice and layman's opinion and welcome to the board :) [/QUOTE]
